Dorexx thank you! You have said what I was thinking.

Also, all that video game crap... what's up with that? I cannot get myself to watch the whole thing. It's just... bad. The animation is okay by fan standards I guess. I am not fond of his art style and the excessive blurring and filters.

I'll give him credit for the time and effort put into it but the story is just LAME. It's just some fan-wanking BS. I was never into the whole AF thing with all their extra transformations and stupid looking designs. I always hated that.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

Well this project is not dead yet.

I will still give this series a try. I'm hoping episode 2 will explain on what the hell is going on.

Back after Episode 1, I redid a line. When I originally recorded for it, I said (Sigh-an) Saiyan (he wasn't in the preview), he didn't even tell me to re-record it, I did that on my own accord. I didn't want to be the awkward one out when everyone was using Say-yan in Episode 1. Wonder if that was this episode it appears in? Apparently Zorn's his name, did that recording back in early '12.

Still going, huh? I wonder if he'll try another kickstarter project for episode 3 or something.

Wasn't "Zorn" the name Funimation gave to one of King Vegeta's Saiyan bodyguards?

Indeed it was.

Looks like he's back for revenge, XD.

Does anyone else think the animation is as lousy as everything else? I mean, it's "impressive," in a sense, like the same way making a big literal pile of crap would be impressive because it clearly took a lot of time and effort, and it's better than I probably could have done, but something is either appealing to the eye or it isn't, you know? I gave the first episode a thumbs down, which I hardly ever do on YouTube.
This will never not be my sig:

If it were official animation I would be unimpressed but I still think it's impressive as far as DB fan animation made by a few amateurs goes.

Yeah, I think it's impressive for what it is. But even if I find it impressive I still don't like it very much. xD

@ mellavelli, you should try to submit some stories/suggestions to Akira Toriyama himself(if possible) or anyone that can get you in the door to make a DBZ storyline or just even character design. Seeing it from someone's point of view would be interesting but I hope whoever is chosen to do/continue DBZ won't butcher the franchise.
Fuck, man. If I'm ever in too good a mood and feel I need to tone myself down, I'll just read the comments to this guys' videos. Oh my god.

I don't know, maybe I'm just way too anal and nit-picky, but it really annoys me when people say "continue DBZ" or "new episodes of DBZ", as if the series is called Dragon Ball Z as a whole. It wouldn't surprise me if most of these kids had never heard of Dragon Ball, or knew that the original manga was just called Dragon Ball throughout.
I'm more interested in this more than battle of the gods.
Yeah, so that just happened.

Its kinda cool, but a lot of the voices, and backgrounds are bad.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Yeah, I find it crazy that people are putting this on the same level as the official series. I guess these are the sort of fans that upset sub fans for mistaking what Dragon Ball really is.

Or ones desperate enough to get any new Dragon Ball material, official or not.

The drawing themselves need work, but his animation has been getting a lot better. Been following this guy for a while now. I also remember him asking me if I wanted to join his team like a year or two ago, pretty flattering.

I'm hoping he will fresh out the story and characters. My issue with the first episode is that so much happens that we didn't get any general idea what was going on.

Episode 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79XFRGY06hk

It looks like the main villains plans are to bring back the Saiyans to life. It does not explain on how they can become so much stronger since that one guy can turn into a Golden Oozaru by powering up. I was hoping they would improve on their story telling this time after working on Episode 2 for months.
